'Chew the fat' = nhai tóp mỡ -> nghĩa là quây quần tán dóc. Cụm từ này bắt nguồn từ việc các thủy thủ vừa nói chuyện với nhau vừa nhai tóp mỡ (the fat in the dried pork).

Ví dụ
Harry Maguire is incoming for a reported £85million and all that's left is for football fans to chew the fat over the merits (xứng đáng) of the investment.

There really is something for just about everyone at Beat-Herder. Go hard in The Fortress, chew the fat over a beer in the Working Men’s Club or relax at Trash Manor.

However tempted, don't sit yourself next to your work buddy, take the opportunity to mingle (xen lẫn) with other departments and staff. Speak to Brenda from IT, chat with Dave from accounts and chew the fat with John from marketing, you might not get the chance when you're back at work.

It’s never too early to talk about what college basketball teams are going to make the NCAA tournament. OK, OK, it’s definitely a little early. Way, way too early. But still, let’s talk about it! Or about transfers, or recruiting, or rule changes, or analytical breakdowns of specific conferences, or your alma mater’s best one-through-eight rotation … you name it, we’ll chew the fat on it.
